I would like to be able to turn my A/C on and off remotely as discussed http://www.arachnon.de/wb/pages/en/nissan-leaf/ovms.php here. When I use their version of the OVMS app it just crashes repeatedly after I input my car's settings so I can't use it. However when I use the play market version of the app, there is no A/C button but it runs solidly and I can see my car's information (it works). Is there a way to turn the A/C on and off with this version of the app? Also, I'm assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that the latest hardware already has the features built in and no flashing is necessary.

You want to use the play store version. I'm running 3.12.4 from the Play store and when connected to a Leaf, I see the AC button.

Bonus questions:
In the app it seems there's an ability to unlock my car and to put it in valet mode but those features need a pin. Where does this pin come from and do the features really work? What is valet mode anyway?

Not all cars support lock and unlock or valet mode. We have some code that works for lock/unlock on the Leaf but it's not yet finished. There are no plans to support valet mode.

What is the 'Features' section of the app for? I see that I need to set my #15 CAN Write to 1 before I can expect the A/C control to work which I've done but is there any info on what the rest of it does?

You don't need this for OVMS v3.

Server: 2.1.1-20121216
Car: 3.1.006
App: 3.12.4 (20180428
Update: The remote A/C worked with homelink 1 and 2 when I got home to charge. I don't have a model with navigation or car wings so I don't think I have the option mentioned about when to allow remote A/C with respect to SOC level. Is it possible that there's a way to set this option with the OVMS?
We still support climate control with homelink 1 & 2 for old apps. This at least lets use separate your climate control button problem questions about how the AC works.

Which model year Leaf do you have? Older than 2013 may require extra hardware to enable climate control when the car is asleep. 2013 through 2015 use a different remote climate control to that of 2016 & 2017. You have to set the module year configuration option to tell the OVMS which car you have. 2018 Leafs are not yet supported.

We made a change to how the climate control is switched off recently and this is probably in the latest firmware (which you don't have on your OVMS). We don't have a way way to configure the remote climate control -- the OVMS simply sends the enable command to the car and the car does it's thing.
